reflections

A Japanese academic, Kanta Matsuura, in the Economics Faculty reports:
In Japan, they have replaced the impersonal and unhelpful Microsoft error
messages with their own Japanese haiku poetry, each only 17 syllables, 5
syllables in the first line, 7 in the second and 5 in the third.

Your file so big.
It might be very useful.
But now it is gone.
-----------
The Web site you seek
Cannot be located but
Countless more exist.
---------
Chaos reigns within.
Reflect, repent, and reboot.
Order shall return.
----------
ABORTED effort:
Close all that you have worked on.
You ask far too much.
----------
Windows NT crashed.
I am the Blue Screen of Death.
No one hears your screams.
----------
Yesterday it worked.
Today it is not working.
Windows is like that.
----------
First snow, then silence.
This thousand dollar screen dies
So beautifully.
----------
With searching comes loss
And the presence of absence:
"My Novel" not found.
----------
The Tao that is seen
Is not the true Tao-until
You bring fresh toner.
----------
Stay the patient course.
Of little worth is your ire.
The network is down.
-----------
A crash reduces
Your expensive computer
To a simple stone.
-----------
Three things are certain:
Death, taxes, and lost data.
Guess which has occurred.
------------
You step in the stream,
But the water has moved on.
This page is not here.
-----------
Out of memory.
We wish to hold the whole sky,
But we never will.
-----------
Having been erased,
The document you're seeking
Must now be retyped.
-----------
Serious error.
All shortcuts have disappeared.
Screen. Mind. Both are blank
